My dear friend, Ian Esplen, tweeted at me that I should give some quick thoughts on the BLOCKBUSTER trade from yesterday, as it pertains to two NHL rookies, both of whom I've seen a lot of in the Ontario Hockey League.
I guess to start you have to first talk about each player as an individual. Wi...

TORONTO (Jan. 7) – Brian Burke has always been a fascinating study, but the intrigue surrounding the Maple Leafs general manager hit a new level this week.
Burke’s lament over evolving strategy in the National Hockey League – presented at a hastily-called news conference spawned by his decision to waive the pugilistic Colton Orr – came off as emotionally genuine, yet contrary to his obl..

Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke had to tell tough guy Colton Orr on Thursday afternoon that he was being sent to the Marlies. And he didn’t like it one bit.
brian burke "And I wonder about the accountability in our game and the notion that players would stick up for themselves and for each other, I wonder where we’re going with that? That’s the only lament I have on this is; the fear that if we don’t have guys looking after each other that the rats will take this game over, that’s my fear. You see guys that run around and start stuff but won’t back it up. It makes me sick to my stomach."
brian burke "The role of fighting and the strategy behind fighting has been systematically reduced, which I support, But there’s still been a level of accountability which appears to me to be drying up very quickly."

Colton Orr's time as the Toronto Maple Leaf enforcer could be coming to an end.
ron wilson "He knows what’s going on, He’s an intelligent guy. He sees most of the teams we’re playing don’t have toughness in their lineup, and for us to be successful, our fourth line has to play 10, 11, 12 minutes and use their speed. And the set of skills they have right now is to be good penalty killers, as well."
